Abstract
An improved swim fin includes a foot pocket, first and second flexible beams supported by the pocket and projecting forwardly from it, first and second struts attached securely to outer ends of the first and second flexible beams, respectively, a narrow, rigid, streamlined blade having a large span rigidly attached to outer ends of the first and second struts. The first and second flexible struts are composed of flexible plastic and have elliptical cross-sections to reduce drag and to prevent twisting. The first and second struts form legs of a U-shaped member, the bottom of which forms a cross-member maintaining spacing between the first and second flexible beams at a fixed value.
